The leading international Defence & Security B2B Event focused on industrial and R&D partnerships was held on 15th and 16th of October 2014 in Paris Orly Airport in France.

Opt/Net attended the event in pursuit of R&D partnerships and prospects for its ambitious plans in the area of operational support systems for mitigation of the current and future cyber-security threats.

This unique opportunity permits us to probe market conditions and analyse obstacles to innovation.

During the Investment Readiness Programme (IRP) on 10th October in Rotterdam, Opt/Net was invited to participate with a model investment presentation, which illustrated how a company pitches to an investor jury followed by Q&A.

This event aimed to engage, select and prepare the promising startups from Zuid Holland for their contact with investors at the Cleantech Summit Rotterdam 2014.

The IRP is a fast track route for Rotterdam and surrounding region based companies to get access to the summit, on 20 & 21 November, uniting 56 selected cleantech companies and 70 VC's and corporates.

On the 2nd of July 2014 the European space innovation scene gathered in Toulouse (France) for the 9th edition of the ESA Investment Forum.

The European Space Agency offers business opportunities to the medium and small business as well as other companies active in space development, production and research through the Industry Space Days (ISD). This event is organised on a bi-annual basis starting from 2014.

It was a great opportunity for Opt/Net Consulting BV to learn about the industry, make new contacts and explore new business prospects. ISD presents the unique chance to SME to benefit from a number of pre-arranged meetings with industry leaders.

After the long and rigorous selection process, our company was selected by European Space Agency (ESA) to join the business incubation centre (BIC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. Our product and business ideas won us a place at the BIC among other promising startups who are working on bringing space technology to Earth. Also, as part of the incubation package we received a financial grant from Dutch Ministry of Finance.

It's this time of the year again when we take a look at the past year in retrospective. We had a great year at Opt/Net and hope you did as well. It brought us highs and lows, great wins and unbelievable surprises, sour taste of small failures and bitter taste of disappointments, but most of all - it taught us most important lessons. The lessons which would make us much wiser and better in the future! Also, we have learned how not to give up and found new friends and partners, those who we can trust in.

Our company is 1 year old now. Its been a roller-coaster start year, but we did well! Now the winds of trade seem favourable and the waters inviting to continue our journey. Looking forward to another exciting and prosperous year!
